Day off in Geneva

The trams are fabulous, and free to hotel guests, so we were soon back in town for a day off from cycling. The cultural highlight was the archaeology under the cathedral – going right back to the skeleton from 100BC of an Allobrogian chieftain whose revered burial started the cult of temple/cathedral building on the site that lasted the next 2 millennia. If only they had known!

We spent the rest of the day in parks and bars, getting some sun and relaxation between the showers. We also visited the longest bench in the world (well except for all the places with longer ones!).

Helen’s track of the day
Stay by Rihanna.
A track played at my spinning class during the warm down/relaxing/stretching bit at the end of the exercise. Perhaps not a surprise then that this was my head today after covering 225 miles in 5 days.
